This lens is exceptionally well thought-out for hybrid creators, featuring exquisite bokeh for both stills and videos, while its autofocus maintains remarkable precision. The linear focus motors are speedy and silent, with snappy enough performance to match the Alpha 9 III's impressive 120fps burst rate.
Examining the lens itself, the Sony 24-50mm f/2.8 G boasts an aperture ring with an aperture click switch, a zoom and focus ring, a customizable focus hold switch, and an autofocus/manual focus switch.
The lens's close-up capabilities are quite intriguing, it allows for close proximity to subjects at either 24mm or 50mm using autofocus. Additionally, the lens's manual focus option for achieving an even slightly closer focus when desired is nice to have.
Focus breathing is well-controlled, and will be a non-issue for shooters on the A7 IV or newer with Breathing Compensation enabled.
The lens is clearly optimized to seamlessly integrate with Sony camera bodies like the Sony Alpha 7CR, ensuring exceptional reliability and autofocus performance. It also supports the Active Mode Stabilization feature found in some newer Sony Alpha camera bodies. For photographers favouring prime lenses, the lens covers three popular focal lengths—24mm, 35mm, and 50mm—suitable for both stills and video work.
As a lightweight, walkaround lens, the new Sony 24-50mm slots itself nicely into Sony's existing lineup of compact lens alternatives that pair wonderfully with their A7C family of cameras.
